Recorded on 24FEB2022

Welcome aboard Flight 103 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Dents and CPTs.

On today’s flight we discuss the recent events onboard an American Airlines flight that caused the Captain to make the decision to divert the aircraft after an onboard disturbance turned into security threat. 

I am also joined on the flight deck today by a returning guest, Mr. Alex Daigle. He is here to discuss his successful completion of a seven day ATP CTP program out of Flight Safety in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. From high altitude stalls to FOQA events, we cover his latest training experience. So stay with us while we run our final checks as we prepare to depart on Flight 103 of the Squawk Ident podcast.
